There are a whole lot more.
Hairstylist? That’s pretty common in the pre-cgi era.
The zucker abrahams zucker credits are full of Easter eggs
Isn’t a fiction writer a kind of makeup artist?
There’s like 10+ jokes in the credits of all the Naked Gun movies (and other screwball comedies from around the same time frame).
I can’t remember if it’s Hot Shots 1 or 2 but one of them had a recipe for brownies in the credits. I remember as a kid seeing that and fully appreciating that they continued the jokes until the very end.
Growing up watching these movies, my brothers, cousins and myself would always watch the end credits to see what jokes we would find and missed the last time. Shit was more fun sometimes than watching the movie.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail wins for Crazy Credits.
This sort of thing is why I never leave the theatre until the credits have rolled through. The people who leave as soon as the lights come up miss all kinds of fun.
One of my favorites (don’t remember which movie) was “Generally In Charge of a Lot of Things.”
I’ve always wanted that on my business card.
There are so many jokes in the credits
My favorite part of the credits was that characters with one-liners were just credited next to the one-liner. “It’s Enrico Palazzo” – Mark Holton.
It’s actually a good idea too.
Make up Artists…Is that something you might be interested in?
Iirc, Wrongfully Accused fast forwards through a part of the end credits.
Yeah, these are always fun to find.
Maybe not the best example, but my favourite is the credits to Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie. The main cast sits and makes fun of the credits for their own film.
“Come on down to L. Marie Ford. Free hot dogs and balloons for mom.”
“The winner, and still photographer, Micky Kienitz!”
I love how sneaky it is. Took me a moment even with this screenshot.

Hey! It’s Enrico Palazzo!
Marsha Durko is listed in IMDB as both “Additional Crew” and “Divorce Attorney: Mr Weiss.”
which one has the full recipie for brownies ? or cookies ?
I think it’s the Naked Gun that also has “No animals were harmed during the making of this motion picture. However several small bird breeds were driven to extinction during principal photography”.
“This motion picture is protected under the laws of the United States and other countries. Unauthorized duplication, distribution, or exhibition may result in civil liability or criminal prosecution. So there.”
The FBI complained about this and asked it be removed from the credits, but the movie was already in distribution.
I love gag credits.
Recycling old common knowledge to a new generation.
“Wrongfully Accused” is chockful of wacky credits. It lists sale prices for food, puts up a lottery number, and at one point, has a section that says “No one cares about the following people” and then the credits speeds up so you can’t see the names.
“Animal action was monitored by the American Humane Association with on set supervision by the Toronto Humane Society. No animal was harmed in the making of this film.
Human interaction was monitored by the Inter Planetary Psychiatric Association. The body count was high, the casualties are heavy”
From the credits of John Carpenters In The Mouth of Madness (1994)
[According to this court filing](https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp2/112/138/2521385/) Marsha Durko actually is an attorney.
IMDb has a section called “Crazy Credits” for movies with stuff like this.
Genuinely a sad day when the remake comes out this year.
Didn’t expect to see my last name on there
Thanking the assistant to someone is always a good guy move.
Not movie related but in a similar vein was the credits at the end of every episode of Car Talk on NPR.
They had set painter and paint setter in the credits as well
